Welcome! My name is Maria Sortino Gillette. I have created this blog to open a discussion about using American English for successful business communication with Americans. In order to be successful, we need to have good business relationships with people. But, as we also know, maintaining these relationships can be challenging, especially if English is not your first language and you did not grow up in the United States. You may wonder how you can better communicate with your American colleagues or partners. You may need to build your skills in language or communication, or both. You may also need to learn a little about American ways of business. What are some of your questions? I'm happy to answer them. I look forward to sharing ideas with you. Respectfully, Maria Sortino Gillette. And my website is www.americanculturecoach.com.

My first question to you is this: What frustrates you about your work relationships with Americans? In other words, what makes you feel alienated or 'separate from the group'? Thank you in advance for your response.
How important is communication in English to students of higher learning.
English is very important to students of higher learning for two reasons. First, many academic subjects in post-secondary schools like university are taught in English. Students often must know the technical or academic language of their major as it is written in English in academic journals and texts. Second, once students complete their degrees, they often get jobs in organizations where they will be required to use English in at least a minimal way, either in written or spoken form, often times both. So, it is absolutely necessary for the professional development of students in higher education.
can you give me an overview of American language used in business?
are idiomatic expressions slang or slang is idiom expressions?
